Amare has played well this season, but let's only post after he has a bad game!

Bargs you might be able to swap for another expiring bum, Amare will be bought out at the deadline, when most teams buy out vets.

What is our record again? How do you justify that he has played well? He is one of the main reasons why the triangle looked so bad early on. Once he catches the ball, he burns ateast six seconds just to try to muscle a shot. He is terrible

STATMELO wrote:Why not cut Bargnani? Amar'e has played well, very efficient offensively and having one of the highest rebounding rates of his career. He's more tradeable than that bum Bargnani.

You make the same mistake again; Amare has not been efficient offensively. He would be efficient if only if he helped make others better. He is a black hole on offense. He plays simply to bolster his stat sheet; he doent play winning basketball.

You never know when a couple of teams try to put together a big trade and need a large expiring contract to make it happen. Or when a team needs to dump someone and is willing to pay a premium price to make it happen.

Ok, I will patiently await his departure. I get mad when I hear fans around here asking for the Knicks to resign this dude

I feel like we don't owe Amare anything. Phil might be trying to resign him cheaply for next year. Amare still thinks he's Issac Hayes aka black Moses so it will be hard to believe he will take a 5 mil a year or less gig, which is what he's worth.

I would love to get rid of him too. He's a side show with his Hebrew bull****, wine baths and other foolery he does outside of basketball.

I think Phil is trying to make a move so we just have to wait and see what happens. Hopefully after the deadline we clean house

To be honest, hell yeah. I hate Amare's approach to the game. Cole can at least defend and rebound. Furthermore, you can run an offense through Cole, because he will look to pass the ball.

Dude if there was a choice between Coles and Amare 31 out of 31 teams would go with Amare, are really serious, run a offense through coles, you should be embarrass and suspended for a wk from UK..lol

For that 1 season that he produced for us, I wish him well, but please, leave.

.5 of a season.
